Article Capitalization
When AboutUs.org creates a page about a website it tries to convert the domain name into upper and lower case automatically (i.e. CamelCase) to make it easier to read the words that make it up. Since it happened automatically, sometimes the capitalization is off. For example, it might capitalize like pOrtLandmEetingS.com instead of PortlandMeetings.com.

Convention
For the sake of consistency, these conventions are preferred:
- Most pages here are DomainPages in the format of Example.tld
- Using all caps (or all lowercase) makes it harder to read.
- No need to add 'www.' or 'http://' or both 'http://www.' in front of the domain name
- the tld (.com, .net, .org, etc.) is most often lowercase
